21 GUIDE FOR THE PROCESS OF MANAGING RISK ON RAPID RENEWAL PROJECTS • Perform faster construction inspection and monitoring by ensuring that renewal projects are inspected and accepted quickly (e.g., using nondestructive testing) so that they can be reopened to the public.

24 GUIDE FOR THE PROCESS OF MANAGING RISK ON RAPID RENEWAL PROJECTS The project delivery selection process, as well as the accelerated construction method selection (and design in general) process, is beyond the scope of this guide, but there are various documents describing well-established processes for the selection of the project delivery method (e.g., by Canadian Provinces Ontario and British Columbia, as well as the UK Highways Agency's Gateway Process)

25 GUIDE FOR THE PROCESS OF MANAGING RISK ON RAPID RENEWAL PROJECTS The scope of this guide is to present an appropriate approach to comprehensively evaluating and managing the risks associated with any rapid renewal project, which might include innovative project delivery methods and accelerated construction methods -- choices among project delivery methods and among accelerated construction methods can then be made, at least in part, on the basis of such evaluations of alternatives. Because the analysis of risks involves different models for different project delivery methods, and many of the risks themselves are different for the different project delivery methods, specific project delivery methods (i.e., D-B or D-B-B)

26 GUIDE FOR THE PROCESS OF MANAGING RISK ON RAPID RENEWAL PROJECTS CONCLUSIONS ON RAPID RENEWAL With the increasing challenges posed by aging infrastructure and reduced funding, rapid renewal strategies and tactics will be increasingly required to deliver long-lasting projects quickly, cost-effectively, and with minimal disruption. However, such rapid renewal strategies and techniques are, in many cases, somewhat innovative and thus might perform in unexpected ways.
